    the problem is, some people aren’t liberal and would like for leftist parties to have a fighting chance. and the political system in america built on money and generation has made for a two party system, a two party system that can not be democratically removed.

      If it’s the case that people want a moderate, then there should be no concern when the leftists don’t turn out, right?

      That’s what is always so confusing to me is that Democrats both act like they need progressive support and then crap on them the entire time. They can’t have it both ways.

        like Labour in the UK, which has had a rush of Tory migrating over to Labour. they’re all the same really, don’t care to make good with fridge leftist voters yet expect a form of loyalty just because their more left than the other one.
